Poem Title:
Poem
In A Mood of Confession Turbulence Terror Of the throbbing rainy clouds. But , they were mine too.The red-hot arrow Pierced tenderness beneath ribs Fell near my window. In a full moon, midnight A withering Franciscan priest, Bent forward, with salt-pepper beard Frightened to the core. It was you,your pale smile fading. Your stamped, ditched adolescence Stars disappearing beyond the sky We entwined them like noodles White cranes flying across cumulus clouds. I had been keeping you in my chest All these years, You wept shamelessly, Baptized in a pool of tears Stepped out as an ascetic. We drove slowly on the deserted road We passed a hospital, then a cemetery Leaving behind rainy clouds Nocturnal birds flapping wings light and shade of life Like one possessed You levitated,in a missed beat. Smiling over fear, distrust and love I get the taste of you. You broke the abode of peace Balance of thought Hunter and the hunted 'Time heals, memories fade, An ultimate transfiguration,'you said Tears on brim, you looked, furtive The same old',Death Wish' Burnt tin-foils,blackened spoons Syringe thrown to the corner Oh ! ,Lord, the thud I hear Was my pulsating fear You kept mum. Your mom sees all A photograph on wall. Oh ! my boy, My blood.
